K-actress Lee Jung Hyun Gets Married with Star-studded Attendance

The cherry blossoms are blooming and what a beautiful season to hold a wedding. The Shilla Hotel in Seoul was the site of a star-studded celebrity wedding this weekend, the marriage of singer-actress Lee Jung Hyun to her non-celebrity husband. She’s been in the industry since the late 90’s but has a rather intermittent portfolio due to taking a long break in the 2000s. Most recently she came back as the female lead in Battleship Island, and I most remember her as the bratty idol wannabe younger sister in classic Hallyu romance Beautiful Days from 2001. Due to her over two decades in the industry, in attendance at her wedding were married couple Lee Byung Hun and Lee Min Jung, actresses including Ko So Young, Sung Yuri, Han Ji Hye, Son Ye Jin, and many more, as well as fellow songstresses Sandara Park and Baek Ji Young. Lee Jung Hyun looked classically beautiful on her wedding day and regal in her released engagement pictures, so congrats to this lovely star! Continue reading
